Abstract

Data from 58 strategic business units (SBUs) reveal that greater marketing/sales experience, greater willingness to take risk, and greater tolerance for ambiguity on the part of the SBU general manager contribute to effectiveness in the case of "build " SBUs but hamper it in the case of "harvest " SBUs. Despite the widespread acceptance of strategy's role in mediating an or-ganization's interaction with its environment (Andrews, 1971; Ansoff, 1965; Chandler, 1962; Child, 1972; Miles & Snow, 1978), the scope of research on strategy "implementation " has remained quite narrow. Following Chandler (1962), the concern has been predominantly with how a firm's organizational structure and control system are, or might be, related to the degree and nature of its product and geographic diversification (Fouraker

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
